Stigmella circumargentea

Wikipedia Abstract

Stigmella circumargentea is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is only known from Yunnan. The wingspan is about 6.2 mm. Larvae have been found in October; adults were reared in November. The larvae feed on Lithocarpus dealbatus and possibly Lithocarpus mairei. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a long gallery, varying from sinuous to almost straight, with linear to dispersed frass filling the early mine, later the frass occupies about one third of the width of the mine.
